On Sunday 3 November 2024, the Stevenskerk in the heart of Nijmegen the place to be. will be the place to be for the international auction and sale of pre-loved and new bags. The proceeds will go entirely to combating poverty in Nijmegen and to the wishes of other people, wishes that will be hung in a wish tree on site. The bag auction is a collaboration between the Rotary clubs Rijk van Nijmegen, Geldern (Germany) and Aalst-Noord (Belgium).
In addition to an auction, there is also a bag market. Furthermore, various lectures and workshops are planned. The workshops are given by Mieke Ruijs of the educational institute ‘Leren met Leer’. Sigrid Ivo, former director of Tassenmuseum Hendrikje, and founder and creative director of fabric brand Byborre, Borre Akkersdijk, will both give a lecture.
Waardevol d’Ing has made a number of bags available for both the market and the auction, including two BizMiz bags, and of course I hope they raise a lot of money for charity!
